I was excited for this second book. I enjoyed the first book. I could not finish this book. An act I can’t I can’t write without spoilers ruined the story for me. If that was going to happen I want a warning!
The narrator is good.
The heartbreak of the acutest kind. Betrayal of a trusted family member. Scandal ready to rip the family apart. OMG! This just tore my heart in two.
Rating: Mature: no kidding: Book 2 in the ‘Everything Will Change’ series. It is best to read book 1 in order to understand the family dynamics of the Duke of Dunsmore’s family and what exactly happened to Elizabeth Bennet all those years ago. As the book blurb states, Elizabeth now knows her true parentage and has returned to Longbourn in order to get to know her Bennet family. Darcy promised to give her time to adjust to her new situation and that is where this story picks up.
Darcy and Elizabeth have agreed that she needs time to adjust to her new family. He has professed his love for her and he knows that she loves him. Before he left for Pemberley, he insisted that they would marry. Elizabeth was left with the hope of his return.
Darcy was leaving for Hertfordshire when a carriage accident nearly killed him. Lady Victoria was at Pemberley and insisted on helping nurse him. What she did was despicable. I can’t even mention it without giving a spoiler. Then there was a fire with the tenants. Fate seemed to be keeping Darcy from returning to Longbourn and Lizzy with several situations that required his involvement. Lady Victoria handed Darcy a supposed letter from Elizabeth breaking off their involvement. Darcy suspected that Lady V had written the letter as Elizabeth wouldn’t have written such a missive. He accused his cousin and she said something that made his blood run cold. He was only beginning to realize the depts of deceit that his cousin was capable of.
Once back at Netherfield, Darcy had to deal with Caroline and her cloying ways. Gracious, this was like trying to swim upstream. Everything that could interfere with ODC did. After spending time with Elizabeth, Darcy was called back to Pemberley when he received an express from Lord Matlock stating a family situation needed his attention. When I heard what the situation was…. I wanted to scream ‘NO’ at the top of my lungs. This was infuriating… it was unimaginable.
Back in London, Lady Victoria was horrid, cruel and a menace when in the presence of Elizabeth. This situation had to play out and we had to wait for the results. Darcy and Elizabeth had to endure so much. Other P&P situations from canon had to play out. The Lydia/Wickham scandal happened off the page and was handled rather quickly. Mr. Bennet this is at your feel. Lizzy tried to tell you.
The ending happened rather quickly and there was no epilogue. I rather wanted to know what happened after.
